If he thought Hove was depressing when he arrived, wait till he sees Leicester.

It's ok. Argentines are famously liberal and open-minded....

Stropped off from the Syrian national team camp within a week of changing his nationality with FIFA - get the feel he isnt that fussed about playing at all

The fella was talking about Dahoud
And bulk up. Has the technical ability but currently too lightweight
What position?
All/none. He's pretty allround.
Centre back?
Goalkeeper?

Our remaining midfield options are looking a tad flimsy that's for sure.... this is Caicedo/Macalister v2.0... we need a bit more PL experience in there, we learnt that from last season.

I sometimes wonder whether Facundo has benefitted from having an absolutely awesome name… ? if he was called Fred Knight from Doncaster, would his star have been so ascendant… ?
Obviously his game time was enhanced significantly by our injuries last season… his legend propped up even more so by his manager who seemingly had an obsession with saying his name followed by his date of birth… a lot…
He scored some fine goals, but dived lots and would disappear at times too… as for his slightly mythical favoured 10 role… I’m just not sure he’d cut it physically in the mixer as it were…
He’s a bit like Moder… nearly really good, but something is lacking - that could change and a loan is a smart move for all parties.

Sure but no-one would on the sort of money he is on would voluntarily live in Leicester. Some lovely wee villages within 20 minutes of Leicester. I think he needs to beef up a bit so a season residing in Melton Mowbray, with unlimited pork pies on offer, would seem to be an ideal loan scenario.

I think their fans that are annoyed with it will end up being pleasantly surprised, despite having to bear the SHAME of loaning a player from a MINNOW.Recalls are only allowed in transfer windows, you can’t have an ‘anytime’ clause.
Great move imo, he needs to be playing at a decent level, and the way our squad is coming together he’s not going to get enough minutes for that development
Meanwhile, a few salty tears being shed about it

I am with you on this but I guess FH does not rate him higher than the players we end up with in his position when the season starts. Really hope we do have more incomings otherwise we might well regret this imo
Game time at Leicester is better than bench warming or not even in the squad at the Albion. At 19 he has plenty of time
I mean, it REALLY isn't, is it?
Mac Allister and Caicedo were absolutely central to our team - Buonanotte (as yet) is not.
Mac Allister and Caicedo had no adequate replacements in the squad. Buonanotte does.
Mac Allister and Caicedo were sold. Buonanotte is being loaned for a season.
A potentially very, very good player, but the situations are totally different.

To me it screams .... "the club are hopeful of more signings"
Yeah, but apart from that it’s IDENTICAL
Agree.
But based on what he unfortunately didn’t show in his limited appearances, he isn’t good enough for us. (IMO).
With more games who knows, but presumably he’s not showing enough in training or when he went on loan.
